this afternoon on Cromwell line pier No.
9, North river. and in less than an hour
the whole structure and its contents were
destroyed. The steamers of this line ply
between New York and New Orleans.
When the engines got to the scene the
whole pier was a mass of flames. Along
side the pier lay the steamer Louisiana,
which was just ready to sail, and on her
deck were passengers waving their adieus
to their friends on shore. On the other
side of the dock was the steamer New
Orleans. Both vessels were towcd out to
midstream. The passengers on the Louis
lana were taken off by the police officers
on the dock, who were protecting nom
union workmen. The vessels upper
works were in flames while the passengers
were being passed down the side. The
Louisiana was towed out into the stream
and the flames extinguished. 1t was re-
ported that the fire was started by the
strikers. but the police deny this. The
police estimate the damage all told at
about $4,000, fully insured. The cause
OF the fire is not known.

Justice Barrett asked him sharply why
he did not come forward and tell his story
at the McQuade trial.
Sullivan replied that he did not wish to
get mixed up with the affair.
Then you sat by, an officer OF the

Several of our party went out TO Gee

was not only exciting and interesting,
but very amusing. When sighting the
kangaroo il is customary for the hunter
to toot his horn, which the acute ear Of
the animal understands, and as the old
imam kangaroo gathers his flock and
drives them before him, all on the hop,
the fun commences. Pistols are the
arms used, and the hunter mus get in
his work before the animals reach the
thickets. 1t may be fun and cas- work

The Canadian View.

OTTAWA, Jan. BIT is officially stated
that the government, in Response to an
appeal to the mother country, has lust
received assurances from the imperial
authorities that men of war will be dis
patched to the maritime provinces in the
spring for the purpose of cooperating
with the Canadian cruisers in the enforce
ment Of the fishery protective service.
The promise of the English government
created great satisfaction in official circles,
and indicates that American vessels will
be more rigidly excluded from our waters
during e season than in the past. A
cabinet minister speaking on the subject
expressed himself as follows: II have
come to the conclusion that American
legislators having gone so far will never
yield their consent to the appointment of
a commission. Gloucester fishermen will
not venture into our waters again in force,
and next April will witness the first start
ling falling off in their trade. Two years
hence the splendid Yankee fishing fleet
will be a thing of the past. Let them
resort to retaliation if they will, and the
result will be that the game will work
both ways. Portland. now the winter
port of Canada, will decline, while Hall
fax, under the new order OF things, will
flourish. Civil war between the Eastern
and Western states would follow the adop-
ton of the retaliatory bill
